BRA
Brazil dominated possession and controlled the match, scoring twice to secure a 2-1 victory. The hosts extended their perfect record to 4 wins from 4, maintaining their unbeaten streak with 3 goals scored and none conceded across their last 5 outings. Their defensive solidity proved decisive; Japan offered resistance but could not breach Brazil's backline until late.
JPN
Japan created chances and scored once, but fell short in a competitive encounter. The visitors managed 6 goals across their last 5 matches yet conceded 2 in this fixture, breaking their clean sheet streak. Their attacking threat was present, though defensive lapses cost them; the 1-1 draw with Sweden preceded this loss.
Run-in & context
Brazil consolidated top position with 12 points from 4 matches, extending their lead over Japan to 3 points. The result reinforced Brazil's tournament credentials; our model had flagged their 100% clean sheet rate as a key strength. Japan remain second on 9 points but face mounting pressure; the loss halted their mixed form of wins and draws.
